The Science of Health and Healing

Kaivalyadhama is world famous for its integrated approach to yoga therapy. Individuals come to us suffering from a wide range of ailments, and we design a specific programme which is known to be most effective in providing relief.

A medical check-up is the first and foremost activity, and pathology tests are carried out in-house if required. A ‘prescription’ for asana, pranayama, and kriya practice plus Naturopathy and special diet (if required) are established.

If you undertake yoga with the right spirit and comply with all instructions given during your stay, we know that you will find relief from your problems and have the opportunity to open up a new horizon to enjoy your life.

Special attention is given to those who seek to have an in-depth understanding of any sphere of yoga; and discussions with Kaivalyadhama scholars can also be arranged.

The 3 parts of the therapy

The yoga that Kaivalyadhama promotes has three main parts.

First is the practice of asanas, pranayama, kriyas, and meditation. Asanas induce increased awareness of physical and psychological processes by controlled stretching, contraction, and relaxation of various muscles, coordinated through balance and holding of postures.

Pranayama involves the manipulation of breathing and an increased awareness of pressures within the chest and abdomen.
Kriyas are purifying processes which eliminate toxins from the body.

Finally, meditation practice increases awareness of one’s mental functioning. It makes us more aware of our restlessness, which in turn creates feelings of fear, insecurity, and stress. All aspects of this first part of treatment combine to return the body to its healthy, harmonious, and balanced state. The second part is concerned with the regulation of diet as well as control of daily habits such as sleep, recreation, and work. This helps in removing the irritants responsible for much of our imbalances. Finally, the third part concerns changes in attitude, behavior, and lifestyle. Feelings of sharing, warmth, friendship, love and respect for the whole beautiful world needs to be cultivated so as to be an antidote for feelings of hopelessness and loneliness.
